For implementing in Fedora Linux 37 scheduled Adoption of a prescription recommending accompanying to stop assembling packages for the I686 architecture, if the need for such packages is doubtful or leads to noticeable time or resources. The recommendation does not apply to packages used as dependencies in other packages or applicable in the context of “Multilib” to ensure the launch of 32-bit programs in 64-bit environments.
Change is not yet considered by the FESCO Committee (Fedora Engineering Steering Committee), which is responsible for the technical part of the Fedora distribution. Recall that the formation of the main repository and packages with the kernel for the I686 architecture in Fedora stopped back in 2019, only the Multilib repositories are left for the X86_64 environments, which are actively used in Wine and Steam to run 32-bit Windows-games builds.
